I run a jellyfin server and give access to about 10 friends. I just kicked everyone out and the new rule is, that I will only stream to linux devices.

So there will be a few streaming boxes at friends places and I thought this could be a nice opportunity.

**Some ideas I've had: **

• distributed backups
• botnet (I always thought about playing around with a smal botnet on socials to do some fun experiment)

If anybody has cool ideas, please share : )

Edit: Everything runs on tailscale

Am using Calibre and audiobookshelf. I'd love a solution where I can search the actual contents of the books. Like being able to search for topics inside all of my books.

Would be a cool AI feature - similar to how immich works.

Does anyone have a solution for that?

G'day.

I'm looking for pirated copies of art magazines or maybe a ripped rss feed for some of them.

Here are some of the magazines I'm talking about:

The Brooklyn Rail

Art Forum

moussemagazine.it

I mean, most of these sites already feature almost all of the content anyways, I was just wondering maybe there's some sort of PDF paradise for issues out there.

Thanks

There's someone who'd sell me an old lacie 4big raid for 60$. I think it looks kinda cool and would be handy to connect 4HDDs to my small computer - are there any doubts from such an "old" raid? I would be using new disks ofc. The thing came out in 2009 and has USB 3.0 and esata

Hi I'm looking for a retro style desktop environment (or maybe just some skin or something) for my Debian workstation. Preferably something that looks like Mac OS 9.

I'm thinking of picking up an old HP Microserver (gen8) and was wondering if it is a bad idea from a security standpoint.

I mean it's only 10 years old - is there any exploit or something like that?

What about a N36L Microserver?

I'd probably run Debian headless on it.

I'd only use it for Syncthing and as a backup NAS.

UPDATE

Everybody made really good arguments against the microserver and I won't be getting one. Thank you for your inputs

Looking for a convenient overview of your servers?

Randomly found this app on F-Droid and I am blown away.

It fetches the server stats, even drive usage and makes it super easy to open an sftp browser or even a ssh console if you quickly need to.

deep recommendation

I've been using the Firefox docker container through the gluetun docker container (runs great with proton and mullvad) and it's been really great.

To me it's kind of like a less restricted tor browser, for when you need something stronger in terms of speed or IP blocking. And maybe something more persistent.

And it always stays open even when you close your connection.

Some of my use cases are:

• Anonymously downloading larger files through the clearnet.

• Anonymous ChatGPT usage.

• Manually looking for torrent magnet links (though I usually do that with the tor browser)

• Accessing shadow libraries

I really like this podcast, which is usually aboutother things, but because I love the bay and Peter Sunde and everything they (at least used to) stand for.

When I saw it I had to listen to it and it was really nice listening to Peter Sunde for an hour.
